Yes. Student visa applicants may be able to use their spouse’s or de facto partner’s income as evidence of financial capacity. The income must generally be supported by official government documents, such as tax assessments, and applicants must demonstrate genuine access to those funds. However, if the partner is accompanying the student to Australia and will stop working, additional evidence may be required to show that the funds will remain available during the student’s stay.
